I figured the Braves would hit a soft spot with all the injuries, and they may yet of course, but so far, not.  They seem to have pitchers in the minors who step in and do well.

Twins spit up 3 of 4 to the Tigers at home. Rocco's seat is getting warm.

I think three's a heat wave in the AL Central under those seats.

Attended yesterday's Athletics home game Vs the Phillies.

After hearing all season how small Oakland's home crowds have been, yesterday drew their third largest crowd of the season, only behind Opening Day and last Tuesday's Reverse Boycott. When I realized by the 4th inning this was most likely because of Father's Day - plenty of families were in attendance - that was when I remembered to call my Dad to wish him happy Father's Day.

Halfway through our call, Oakland fans broke out in chants of "Sell The Team! Sell The Team!" Dad, overhearing, naturally asked for an explanation. My Dad is from Poland and has never taken to following pro sports. So with a mix of fluent English and broken Polish I tried explaining how nobody within a square mile of me likes this guy named John Fisher thanks to his plans to move Oakland's baseball team to Las Vegas.

"But," my Dad asks, "isn't everybody who can leaving California for places like Vegas?"

On that note, I've never seen a more graffiti-ed city than Oakland California.

Yup. If the Twinkies were anywhere else, they're 12 games back in the loss column and were discussing how the Pohlads are going to gut the team at the deadline. 

That said, Rocco's extension two weeks ago looks an awful lot like the Dreaded Vote of Confidence. 

Speaking of the AL Central...

24-0 7th inning score not very common.

Three games in the 1880s are comparable but that's it.  28-0 being the largest shutout in professional baseball history.

Well, 25-1 it is.

The Dodgers are taking a year off to reset the luxury tax.  In 2024 they'll be back big time.

didn't think it was possible to score 25 runs with only 5 HRs

Halos were playing small ball and proved it still works
